Romans 8:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 For we know that every creature groaneth with us also, and [a]travaileth in pain together unto this present.
23 [b]And not only the creature, but we also which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we do sigh in [c]ourselves, waiting for the adoption, even [d](A)the redemption of our body.
24 [e]For we are saved by hope: but [f]hope that is seen, is not hope: for how can a man hope for that which he seeth?

- Romans 8:22 By this word is meant, not only exceeding sorrow, but also the fruit that followeth of it.
- Romans 8:23 Fifthly, if the rest of the world looks for a restoring, groaning as it were for it, and that not in vain, let it not grieve us also to sigh, yea, let us be more certainly persuaded of our redemption to come, forasmuch as we have the firstfruits of the Spirit.
- Romans 8:23 Even from the bottom of our hearts.
- Romans 8:23 That last restoring, which shall be the accomplishment of our adoption.
- Romans 8:24 Sixthly, hope is necessarily joined with faith: seeing then that we believe those things, which we are not yet in possession of, and hope respected not the thing that is present, we must therefore hope and patiently wait for that which we believe shall come to pass.
- Romans 8:24 This is spoken by the figure Metonymy: Hope, for that which is hoped for.
